The Temple of the Exploding Head Trilogy soon to be published by LOCONEAL PUBLISHING
The TEMPLE OF THE EXPLODING HEAD, once a single 300,000 word epic, has been separated into three smaller works:
The Dead Held Hands, The Machine, and concluding with The Temple of the Exploding Head. I've moved the LoE series from IUniverse to the hallowed halls of Loconeal Publishing. I've now got a deadline and everything. The Dead Held Hands is in the works and should be out by March, 2010. Carol Phillips is on board once again and is almost done with the cover. Additionally, the interior will feature twenty sketches and paintings, featuring the incredible artwork of Carol Phillips, Chantal Boudreau, and my favorite Germans, the incomparable Fantasio and Eve Ventrue. It should be a veritable extravaganza of fun stuff
Here's an over all summary of the trilogy, though I'm told I totally suck at summing things up:
Life continues on in the House of Blanchefort. The children
of Lord Davage and Countess Sygillis are growing into maturity.
For Lord Kabyl, life has been a dream, and perhaps he’s been neglectful of certain things. He should have known something was wrong, as his Lady, Gifted with the ability to see the future, often wakes in the night crying, though she refuses to say why.
His easy life is about to change forever.
Something festers on Kana, something
existing far into the future with roots in the ancient past. What has
watched the doings of the League for centuries, and is content to watch
no more. Who sends the skinless monsters into the Great Houses—monsters
that are heartbreakingly familiar. Where is the TEMPLE
OF THE EXPLODING HEAD, and how can such a nightmare place
truly exist?
Follow Lord Kabyl of Blanchefort and his cousins, Sarah and Phillip, as they venture out into the stars alone for the first time, traversing the League in their Goshawk. Watch as they end up in the enemy city of Waam, where a particularly old Black Hat waits for them in her temple. Once she gets hold of Lord Kabyl, she will never let him go.
